Abstract

Steganography provides a stealthy communication channel for malicious users, which jeopardizes traditional cyber security infrastructure. Due to the good quality and the small storage usage, compressed audio has been widely employed by online audio sharing, audio streaming broadcast, and voice over IP, etc. Several audio steganographic systems have been developed and published on Internet. Traditional blind steganalysis methods detect the existence of information hiding, but neglect the size and the location of hidden data. In this paper, we present a scheme to locate the modified segments in compressed audio streams based on signal analysis in MDCT transform domain. We create reference signals by reversing and repeating quantification process, and compare the statistical differences between source signals and reference signals. Dynamic evolving neural-fuzzy inference systems are applied to predict the number of modified frames. Finally, the frames of audio streams are ranked according to their modification density, and the top ranked frames are selected as candidate information-hiding locations.
